Permeation passive sampling as a tool for the evaluation of indoor air quality
PublikacjaOkreślono stężenie średnie ważone w czasie wybranych lotnych związków organicznych w powietrzu ośmiu pomieszczeniach mieszkalnych na terenie miasta Gdańska. Do pobierania próbek analitów z powietrza wewnętrznego zastosowano permeacyjny dozymetr pasywny typu pudełkowego oraz technikę dynamiczną (urządzenie przepływowe z rurką sorpcyjną). Porównano wyniki uzyskane w wyniku zastosowania w/w technik pobierania próbek analitów.

Influence of the initial void ratio on the evolution of the passive earth pressure
PublikacjaW artykule przedstawiono wyniki numerycznej analizy wpływu rozkładu początkowego wskaźnika porowatości i fluktuacji bieżącego wskaźnika porowatości w materiałach granulowanych na powstawanie lokalizacji odkształceń. Obliczenia wykonano dla ściskania dwuosiowego stosując metodę elementów skończonych na bazie mikropolarnego prawa hipoplastycznego.

The miniaturised emission chamber system and home-made passive flux sampler studies of monoaromatic hydrocarbons emissions from selected commercially-available floor coverings
PublikacjaThe estimation of the emission rate of organic compounds released from various types of indoor materials can be performed using stationary environmental test chambers (ETC) classified as ex-situ methods or small-scale portable analytical devices based on the use of passive technique at the stage of analytes sampling from the gaseous phase (in-situ methods). The paper presents results of emissions of selected organic compounds from...

Bayesian Optimization for solving high-frequency passive component design problems
PublikacjaIn this paper, the performance of the Bayesian Optimization (BO) technique applied to various problems of microwave engineering is studied. Bayesian optimization is a novel, non-deterministic, global optimization scheme that uses machine learning to solve complex optimization problems. However, each new optimization scheme needs to be evaluated to find its best application niche, as there is no universal technique that suits all...

Modeling of Passive and Forced Convection Heat Transfer in Channels with Rib Turbulators
PublikacjaThe main goal of the research presented in this paper was the experimental and numerical analysis of heat enhancement and aerodynamic phenomena during air flow in a channel equipped with flow turbulators in the form of properly configured ribs. The use of ribs intensifies the heat transfer and at the same time increases not only the flow resistance but also the energy costs. Therefore, designing modern heat exchangers with optimal...

Passive sampling as a tool for obtaining reliable analyticalinformation in environmental quality monitoring
PublikacjaSpośród technik pobierania próbek analitów technika dozymetrii pasywnej wydaje się być interesującą alternatywą w stosunku do powszechnie stosowanych technik dynamicznych. Dozymetria pasywna łączy w sobie etap pobierania próbki z etapem izolacji i wzbogacania analitów, które są zatrzymywane w odpowiednim medium zatrzymującym. Prowadzi to do znacznego uproszczenia operacji analitycznych wykonywanych in situ. W odróżnieniu od aktywnych...

Investigations of the passive layer cracking by means of dynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
PublikacjaDynamiczna elektrochemiczna spektroskopia impedancyjna została wykorzystana do badania pękania warstwy pasywnej na austenitycznej stali wysokostopowej.Zbadano efekt narzuconego potencjału oraz naprężeń rozciągających na pękanie korozyjne stali wysokostopowej 304L w środowisku 0.5M NaCl w temperaturze pokojowej. Praca przedstawia chwilowe widma impedancyjne uzyskane dla badanego układu przy różnych wartościach potencjałów. Uzyskane...

Some aspects of vibration control. Part I: Active and passive correction.
PublikacjaPrzedstawiono ogólne podejście do modyfikacji układu mechanicznego w ruchu harmonicznym przy użyciu aktywnych i pasywnych metod. Zaproponowano metodę wyznaczania elementów macierzy układu lub struktury i nastaw regulatora, zapewniającą najefektywniejsze oddziaływanie na dynamikę ruchu.

Selection of measurement frequency in Mott-Schottky analysis of passive layer on nickel
PublikacjaPrzedstawiono zależności Mott'a - Schottky'ego dla różnych częstotliwości pomiarowych. Kształt uzyskanych zależności zależy od doboru tych częstotliwości. Związane jest to z tym, że stężenie defektów w warstwie pasywnej zależy od doboru częstotliwości. Metoda DEIS pozwala na uniknięcie tych niedogodności.

Calibration of the Chemcatcher passive sampler for the monitoring of priority organic pollutants in water
PublikacjaNa Univeristy of Portsmouth (UK) opracowano próbnik pasywny typu Chemcatcher, który może być stosowany do długotrwałego monitoringu organicznych zanieczyszczeń wody. Na działanie wszystkich próbników pasywnych wpływ mają warunki środowiskowe takie jak np. ruch wody czy temperatura. Przed użyciem próbnika Chemcatcher w badaniach polowych wymagana więc była wcześniejsza kalibracja w laboratorium. Przedstawiono wyniki serii doświadczeń...
